<p>When the chart ranking premiered that day in print, <a href="http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6655650/hot-100-co-creator-seymour-stein-interview">Billboard was tracking the nation's top songs</a> through a formula that encompassed "such factors as [radio] disc jockey plays, jukebox activity, and record sales."</p>
<p>The '50s kicked off the heyday of radio and the dominance of rock 'n' roll, which got its name in the decade.</p>
<p>Today, radio airplay still counts for a third of Billboard's song ranking formula, while downloads, physical sales, and streaming — the <a href="http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6655650/hot-100-co-creator-seymour-stein-interview">"modern-era, digital jukebox"</a> — make up the rest. The sound of radio is, of course, much different now.</p>

<p>The year-long push launches Saturday (28 February) with an exhibit charting the history of the famous bottle beginning in 1915. Early designs and prototypes of the bottle will feature alongside the more than 100 original pieces of art including two original paintings of the bottle from Andy Warhol.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">From here activity will escalate into 14 TV and digital ads that will run worldwide. One animated Ogilvy &amp; Mather Paris-created spot charts the fictional creation of the bottle, beginning as a block of ice in an arctic tundra before it gradually morphs as it travels through tropical jungles and cityscapes before completing its transformation back in the icy setting.</span></p>
<p>The campaign is soundtracked by the song ‘Nobody Like You’ by singer Francesco Yates, which serves as an ode to the contour shape of the Coca-Cola bottle and the specialness of shared moments.</p>
<p><iframe width="850" height="450" frameborder="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6Y1YfhR5jws"></iframe></p>
<p>The brand has also tapped iconic celebrities for a global outdoor, digital and retail campaign. The first wave of activity will iconic stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Ray Charles who have been ‘kissed by’ the Coca-Cola bottle. Later in the year, modern-day celebrities and music artists will be used for localized activity.</p>
<p>To further promote the history of the brand, Coke has partnered with French publishing house Assouline to release a limited-edition book next month containing global artists and designers’ interpretations of the bottle in their own aesthetic.</p>
<p><img src="http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/54f044636da811ab17db7c9b-1002-752/coke kissed elvis.jpg" border="0" alt="coke kissed elvis ad"></p>
<p>A ‘Story of the Coca-Cola Bottle’ app has also been developed, offering a behind-the-scenes look at archives and stories about both the brand and the bottle.</p>
<p>Spend behind the global push has not yet been disclosed, but it comes following disappointing sales in 2014. Coke blamed poor quality marketing at the time, and maintained it turned a corner going into what it predicts will be a “transition year”.</p>
<p>The centenary push could lift boost value sales for the business off the back of giving greater prominence to the higher priced bottles over aluminium cans.</p>
<p>Coke plans to give away around 30 million bottles worldwide via sampling efforts at festivals and other events.</p>

<p>The home reportedly sold off-the-market to a corporate entity for $14.5 million. Morton was rumored<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">&nbsp;to be tearing down the historic home, but it seems that those plans never panned out.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>The home, which has four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and spans 5,367 square feet, sold to Morton in December 2012 for significantly less than the initial $12.995 million asking price.</p>
<p>The gated property sits on 1.18 acres of land, with stunning views of Los Angeles from the backyard.

<p>Rapper Lil Wayne just broke Elvis' record for the most singles in the Billboard Hot 100.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"Weezy" has 109 singles, while Elvis had 108, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/blackboard/mtv" class="hidden_link">MTV</a>.com reported.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Lil Wayne is featured on the Game song "Celebration," which debuted at 82 on the chart.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Still, Elvis has the most hits as a lead artist, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1694500/lil-wayne-billboard-chart-appearances-elvis-presley.jhtml">MTV reported:&nbsp;</a></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span>"Though the "Glee" cast has totaled 204 entries on the Hot 100 since 2009, Wayne holds the artist title, mostly thanks to his many, many features on other peoples' songs. In fact, only 39 percent (42) of the rapper's solo hits account for his total, with the other 61 percent (67) made up of his features on songs by pals including Juvenile, Destiny's Child and Birdman. Presley, on the other hand, was listed as the lead artist on all 108 of his chart hits and he still holds the title for most Hot 100 entries by a lead solo artist. For now, he's easily ahead of the artists behind him, which include James Brown (91), Aretha Franklin (73) and Ray Charles (72)."</span></p>

<p>On Wednesday, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/elvis-presleys-ex-wife-priscilla-and-daughter-at-vigil-on-35th-anniversary-of-singers-death/2012/08/15/e4343216-e747-11e1-9739-eef99c5fb285_story.html" target="_blank">thousands of fans converged at Graceland to commemorate the King</a> and got a surprise welcome from the music superstar's former wife and daughter&mdash;marking the first time <strong>Priscilla</strong> and <strong>Lisa Marie Presley</strong> have appeared together at the annual gathering.</p>
<p>Noticeably absent was Lisa Marie's beautiful, 23-year-old budding actress daughter: <strong>Riley Keough</strong>.</p>
<p>But Keough is busy shooting a "Mad Max" reboot in Africa alongside <strong>Charlize Theron</strong> and <strong>Rosie Huntington-Whiteley</strong>, after starring in this summer's <strong>Steven Soderbergh</strong>-directed "Magic Mike."</p>
<p>And she has three films lined up after that.</p>
<p>From taking over the big screen today to modeling in her younger years, Keough, who was born 12 years after her famous grandfather died, has chosen to follow in her family's show business footsteps.</p>
<p>With Elvis officially gone for 35 years and Lisa Marie putting her music career on hold, it is Keough who is set to take her grandfather's place in the limelight.</p><h3>May 29, 1989: Danielle Riley Keough is born to Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough. Riley, as she is called, is the eldest grandchild of Elvis and Priscilla Presley.</h3>
